Work for the Saskatoon Zoo Society this summer! FILLED

The Saskatoon Zoo Society is potentially looking for up to 2 summer interpreters to work with our education programs in May and June and then work as a camp counsellor for July and August. This job requires experience working with children. Experience working with children in a camp setting or within a school setting (even if volunteer) is a huge asset. These positions start on Tuesday, May 23rd and run until Friday, August 25th. These positions are potentially grant-funded and, therefore, a few stipulations apply, so please read below carefully before applying:

You must be registered in a post-secondary school full-time for the

2017-2018 school year.

You must have been registered and attended school full-time in the

2016-2017 school year.

You must be between 16 and 30 years of age (due to the early start date of this position, high school students are unable to apply)

You must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or person whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Foreign students are not eligible)

You must be legally entitled to work according to the relevant provincial/territorial legislation and regulations.

You must be available Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. (there may be an exception on Friday, June 16th where you would be working 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) Two overnight shifts are required (one on Thursday, July 20th and one on Thursday, August 17th). One Sunday shift (July 16th) is also a requirement. All other weekends and statutory holidays are yours to enjoy!

As these positions may be grant funded, we do not allow for holiday time off during the work contract (May 23rd-Aug. 25th).

You must be able to present a current (within 6 months) police security check with the vulnerable sector search in the event you get an interview.
